/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There is no notion in the practice of international
law as 'recognition of an independent state', all countries are divided
by one feature - those which are not UN members and those which are
members of UN, said political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan in
Yerevan. In his words, NKR's independence does not need anybody's
recognition.
"Nagorno Karabakh only needs legal registration of its independence
and everybody will take into account this fact. Azerbaijan is afraid of
this very fact, since the laws in Stepanakert have always been and will
be observed, unlike those in Baku, which the international community
is well aware of. Moreover, part of European energy security is in
our region that's why Europe needs stability. And it can be ensured
only by Karabakh, which develops in accordance with international
democratic norms," he said.
At the same time the political scientist emphasized, that the
Constitution does not define the borders of a sovereign state. "The
war is not over yet, and the border between Azerbaijan and NKR can
pass anywhere, even on the banks of the Kura River," says Armen
Melik-Shahnazaryan.
